RE: i stung someone

Got a little further along on the paint. Still alot to do, but it is starting to look alot better! I'm going to use the stock wheels (15x7 Grizzleys) & tires from the XJ while trying to get it ready for inspection.

Windsheild, rear main, and valve cover are next. Found a guy to do the seal for Beer :shock:

Oh I love it when people do work for beer. Looking good man. Did you just rattle can it?

Dang, TC....you've already torn it up again? The guy you bought it from had JUST replaced that seal!! :lol: :wink:

RE: Exhaust

No, no rattle can (except for priming the once surface-rusted hood). I used a roller for most of it, and a sponge brush for some It is Aervoe camo paint. It is pretty solid stuff and should withstand alot of abuse (I hope).

Here's what it looked like when I brought it home:
That's my oldest son, Taylor. He's sporting one of his shirts from making the all-star team :wink:

RE: Exhaust

Wow that is a big difference. Your going to put black wheels on it eventually right?

thanks

Me too! Just a suggestion from past experience, though: Give them the beer after they do the work! :lol:

Well I don't drink much anymore, but I plan to do both. Me & a couple of friends are going to do it at one of their garages. He's got everything including a lift. Beats doing it in my driveway or paying a shop

and yes, the beer will come after the job is done

Re: RE: Re: RE: YJ progress

sweet- out of my friends, im the most mechanically inclined/equipped, so they are pretty much useless when it comes to workin on my rig (or theirs for that matter)

although, my buddy across the street has ample driveway space that i get to use for big projects (like the swap i just did) AND he even cleans up after me. Not a bad gig

good luck and let me know how it goes. I think i have to do mine soon and i was planning on using that link as a guide
